Last night on the riverbank
You said you loved me, said you were mine
But just a turn of the tide, and old truths they lie, and where are you now?
I can't seem to see you anywhere
When is a man gonna know what to do
when he is blessed with but a memory of you
and hey hey heyLast night by the brewery
you had me cornered in Monopoly
On fire and skint, got no dough to pay rent, and where are you now
I just cannot smell you nowhere
I'm bending over backwards just to make ends meet
Got no ground under my bare feet
and hey hey heyTo keep me company
in going down like a lead balloon
I got houses and hotels
amid black cars and shoes
All you gents and all you ladies
you are out if you can't make it
In this race of rats and raccoons
In this race of rats and raccoonsWhat you want us all to be?
This game of yours is outfreaking me
Even the piano is begging pleaseWhat you want us all to do?
We roll the dice and we all make our moves
But there ain't no winners and a whole bunch of losers.I haven't got no place to stay
but a whole lotta hell to payLast night in the sewer
You had me ditched and I knew it
I got the horn and I blew itTo keep me company
in going down like a lead balloon
I got houses and hotels
amid black cars and shoes
All you gents and all you ladies
you are out if you can't make it
In this race of rats and raccoons
